Be About Yourself, Not in a Selfish Way Be about yourself, not because the world revolves around you, but because you have spent too much time making everyone else the center of your life while forgetting you were a person who needed care too. There is nothing wrong with choosing your own happiness, protecting your energy, and becoming the person you dream of being. You can have a good heart and still have boundaries. You can love people deeply and still leave room to love yourself. The truth is, many of us were taught to give and give until there was nothing left of us. We were praised for sacrificing our needs and called selfish the moment we finally asked for the same kindness we gave away so freely. But taking care of yourself is not an act of selfishness,it is an act of self-respect. Pour into your own cup too, because you cannot keep giving from a place that has been empty for too long.
